More on Salem
As with many of the cities and towns in New England, Salem has a history stretching back to the 17th century. It was first settled in 1652, and was originally part of Methuen in Massachusetts. When New Hampshire was created and the boundary between it and Massachusetts redrawn in 1741, it was renamed Salem after Salem, Massachusetts.
Due to its proximity to Boston, Salem was absorbed into the Boston metropolitan area since the 1950s. It serves as a marketing and distribution center for northern Boston.
